Diesel Rig-- so Why Propane Generator ?
Found a diesel pusher Im interested in. Its got a propane generator. Being new to all this I pose the question-- Why a propane generator vs diesel/gasoline ?

I would bet the OP is looking at a RV older than 2001/02. Back in the mid to late 90's, Diesel RV APU's were very expensive compared to LP models. So, the standard was a LP with the Diesel an expensive upgrade. The OEM's did not care about the fuel tank size and its limitations. Once the Diesel Pusher market took off in the 1999 model year, the Diesel APU's came down in cost due to the amount of APU's and Diesel motorhomes being built. The plain fact is--- having a LP APU on a Diesel pusher is a cost downgrade. I personally would NEVER have a LP Genset as (I am a RV Tech), have seen way to many problems with the fuel supply on LP gensets. If running the APU is not something you would need, then get a RV with a LP APU. If you plan on running the Genset for days at a time, then Diesel is the way to go. Doug
